Board Of Appeals.

The board of appeals convened at
City Hail this morning and are now at
work. About dozen pieces of prop
erty were considered this forenoon
and the assessed value was raised in
nearly every instance. There is wall

proposes to bring the assessment up to
what they think is rigei, regardless
of the whimperings and wailings.

Sea Effects in Holland.

Perhaps the most important element,
pictorially, in Holland is the sea; for
a country mainly reclaimed from it,
pierced in every direction by arms of
it, whose riches are due to it and
which is washed on two sides by it,
this must be so, writes Mr.. Hitchcock
in Scribner'S Magazine for August. If
you paint in church the votive model
of ship, or the tomb of a sea-warrior
is before you; if you compose peace
full landscape almost anywhere, the
sail of a canal-boat, or a sea-gull will
intrude itself. 1t was the sea as much
as the Netherlanders which drove the
Spaniards from the land An immense
number of people get their living d.
rectly from the sea- and its many miles
of coast make it impossible to entirely
omit it in any artistic effort, even
though it be but in feeling the fact that
it is present. 1t is indeed
A land that rides at anchor and is moored;,
The shallow, stormy German ocean,
breaking in ceaseless beauty on
its white sands, is always a picture.
Its waters, often mixed with sand,
always in storms, make up in fine color
what they lack in transparency-from
pale blue to warm red in the wave
shadows, yellowish foam, and yet withal
gray and harmonious. In high winds
it breaks miles from the shore, when
all the light in the picture seems to be
in the mass of rushing, foaming water;
then if through this comes the black
hull and russell sails of fishing-boat,
making for a place-certain death TO
any other model-it is indeed picture.
The size of these boats makes them
most useful; large enough to compose
well, and yet their feeling and pathos
not lost in too great evidence of safety.
The almost daily going and coming of
the fishers from the few villages, the
departure for the herring fishing, with
the groups of disconsolate wives and
sweethearts, the rise and fall of the
tide, with its ceaseless change of color
and conformation, are a never-failing
source of interest.

ToLEop. o., Dec. II, 1879.


F.. i. Cheney d Co., TOled0, ohio '-Dedr
SirS-About three months ago, noticing
letter addressed to you in the Bee from Gen
eral Slevin, in reference to the cure of his
son by the use of HALLS CATARRH CURE,
for our daughter Nellie, now fourteen years
for about eight years, during which time
physicians in the city. We have also tried
for catarrh, with no more success than
temporary relief. Many nights have we
laid awake to hold her mouth open TO keep
her from strangling Her hearing had also
become affected, We were afraid that she
would never recover. We have now used
six bottles of HALLS CATARRH CURE, and
we believe Nellie to be entirely cured. In
a few days after commencing the use of IL
we noticed decided change for the better,
and from that right along she has improved,
until now she hreathes as easily as any one.
She sleeps we'll and her hearing is perfectly
good We feel that the disease is entirely
removed, We write this unsolicited letter
feeling that il is due you, and with the hope
that others may be benefited in like manner,
We can hardly realize that such change
could be effected in so short time after
battling with the disease so long, We are
still using the remedy at intervals as IL
seems to build up her system. You are at
liberty to use this in any manner you see
proper. We are yours truly,

prayer, and the gentle spirit was re-
leased from the weary, pain-racked
frame. Tears of true love fell upon
the wasted face, placid in deaths sleep.
Every kind word was cherished when
the lips that had spoken it were mute,
and Aunt Julia had two true mourners
at her funeral, while many of the
friends of years gone by came to pay
the last tribute of respect to her
memory.
1t did not surprise Elsie when she
learned that her Aunt Julia had left
her the fortune that came too late to
gladden. her own life. But she told
Walter when the will was read to her:
81 am glad we never thought of the
land, Walter, in the years that Aunt
Julia was with us. 1t would have made
me hesitate often to show her all the
love in my heart if | had ever thought
she would have money to leave me-"
"She knew, darling, it was all love, yet
/ am glad my Elsie has some reward
for the patient, tender care that ale
waited the suffering of the poor invalid
who rests at last"
And Elsie, nesting close in Walters
arms, said softly:
{" If l could love you more, Walter,
than / did when married you should
do so when think of your kindness
and generosity to Aunt Julia"
1T was odd," Walter said, " that
the money that Aunt Julia invested in
Chicago should be actually doubled, fol
/ have seen her weep often when she
spoke of her unfortunate investment
of her friends acy."-Erchdnge.

Students Stories.

Among stories of examinations, those
that are most popular with the students
are told at the expense of the examin-
ers. We have two capital ones at
Edinburgh. According TO the first, an
examiner had made himself obnoxious
by warning the students against put
ting their hats on his desk. The uni
versity in the Scottish capital is re-
markable for a scarcity of cioak-rooms,
and in the excitement of examination
hats are, or used to be, flung down any,
where. This examiner announced one
day that if he found another hat on the
desk he would rip it up. Next day no
hats were laid there when the students
assembled. Presently, however, the
examiner was called out of the room.
Then some naughty undergraduate
er's hat and placed it on the desk
When the examiner re-entered the
hall every eye was fixed on him. He
umph shot across his face. Gentle
men," he said, :" L told you what
would happen if this occurred again"
Then he took his penkife from his
pocket, opened it and blandly cut the
hat in pieces, amidst loud and pro-
longed applause. They do say that
there were other examiners in the
room at the time who could have
warned him had they chosen. Another
story illustrates the fact that the stu
dent may sometimes be too much for
his examiner. Soon after the examina-
ton opened he was observed looking
around him stealthily, as if meditating
guile. From the other end of the hall
the examiners watched him narrowly;
so did number of students. He took
a handkerchief from his pocket and
spread it over his knee. Every few
minutes he lifted up the handkerchief
and looked beneath it, and then wrote
with renewed vigor. 1t seemed clear
case of copying, so an active examiner
bounced upon him. The student
whisked the handkerchief into his
pocket. "Come, Mr.. A." said the
examiner, :" l must see your handker-
chief" Certainly, SIR" said the
student, blandly showing it to him.
Then the pocket was searched, with no
result. The student began to grin,
and then the other competitors, and
then the other examiners followed suit.
Obviously it was a practical joke,
though at the time no one understood
how practical. The crestfallen ex-
aminer returned to his desk, and soon
afterward the student took a small
book from his pocket, spread it open
on his knee, and seemed to resume his
old tactics. The fear of being sold
again kept the examiners from inter-
fering this time; but when they looked
at his paper subsequently it was seen
that his answers had come from a
"crib." Whether his ingenuity availed
him in the end cannot say. A better
story, in the opinion of examiners, is
one of student who made miniature
crib for himself, meaning to smuggle
it up his sleeve into the examinations
room. He forgot it, however, and his
; mother, finding it in his room, hurried
to the university with it and sent it by
7 messenger to the examiner, asking
) him to give it at once to her son, as
she knew ii was something very impor-
tant.-St. James, Gazette.

The Summer Shower.

As on a fair face, bright as skies of May,
Dark frowns may gather at a thoughtless word,
SO swift the heavens on this summer day
with angry clouds by careless winds are blurred.
As loving smiles. in laughter wreathed, give place
To grieving, quverng lips, or haunting sneer,
So tossing shadows all the sunshine chase
With threatening humors of the skies austere
As eyes that glow with nope are drowned in tears
And some are changed to walls of dark despair
SO all the blue of summer disappears
And Earring thunders echo through the air.
And now 1t rains; great sheets of moisture pour
In pelting torrents from the angry cloud;
While the grim batteries of thunder roar
And shake the frightened earth with echoes loud
And am seven miles away from home
Lost, with summer suit on no umbre;
Muddy, afraid of thunder, dreDched; this pome
Shall hide some things do not dare to tell.

o beautiful fields of following grain,
Lift up your heads in the sun and rain;
Grow strong and proud with the winds that blow,
Grow sweet and fair, for do you not know
That Jesus once walked in the corn?
He rubbed in his hands your ripening seeds;
o beautiful grain, to our Saviors needs,
To the Son of God you minstered bread,
The Lord of the earth by your fruit was fed
When Jesus walked in the corn
As this golden grain will nourish our flesh
May the Bread of Life our souls refresh;
May our spirits partake of thy body and blood,
For we famish and die without thy food,

severest Lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-

dry up.a cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy condition.

The Liquor Question,
w. N. Moore, P. NJ.

In dealing with the liquor question we
also have public sentiment to deal with.
Therefore no political party dare make abso-
lutte prohibition Of the liquor traffic an issue.
The Republican party no doubt is contempla.
ting 1t, but rests comparatively upon pivot.
1t also contemplates without doubt becom-
ing the ''God and morality party" to incorpor
ate their theology into the Constitution of the
United States but it is afraid of the liberal
element. The temperance party has to main
tain its position and fight It's battles alone.
The two belgerant political parties virtually
acknowledge that the evils Of intcmperancc
are greater than the government which is ''of
the people, by the people, and for the people. :"
1t therefore governs the people instead Of the
people governing it.
The Prohibition party cannot govern it un-
less it can govern the administration in its
highest and mcst replete departments. Now
seeing that there is department OF our
national government by the people etc., which
sustains and protects the liquor traffic with
other nations in our states irrespective Of
state prohibitory laws which render states
poweTless to enforce prohibition. The condi.
ton is but little If any better when state pro.
hbiiion is not interposcd by importation see
ing that the drug store becomes the liquor
emporium where the parson can have his
flask filed if he desires. Therefore suggest
as solution Of this problem that the govern
ment which represent the people control the
manufacture and sale Of ardent spirits that the
Traffic with all Of lis concomitant evils no
longer control the people.
